She is related  to me, as she is my paternal cousin&rsquo;s daughter. She is the daughter of  my paternal cousins who married each other. Am I permitted islamically  to marry her?.<\/p>","answer":"<div class=\"list-group-item-text ftwa-single-answer font-nrmal\"><span class=\"line_height\"> Praise be to Allaah.\r\n<p>Yes, it is permissible for you to marry the girl mentioned,      who is the daughter of your paternal aunt&rsquo;s son and the daughter of your      paternal uncle&rsquo;s daughter, because she is not your mahram. &lsquo;Ali (may Allaah      be pleased with him) married Faatimah (may Allaah be pleased with her), the      daughter of the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),      and she was the daughter of the son of his paternal uncle.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>The daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts are      permissible for you to marry, and so are their daughters, no matter how far      the line of descent extends. And the daughters of your maternal uncles and      aunts are also permissible for you to marry, and so are their daughters.      Perhaps you are confused because it is customary for such girls to call you      uncle, but this is just a custom, and it does not mean that it is haraam to      marry them.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>For more information on marrying relatives, please see the      answer to question no. <a href=\"http:\/\/islamqa.info\/en\/72263\">72263<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>May Allaah help us and you to do that which He loves and      which pleases Him.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>And Allaah knows best.<\/p>\r\n<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 3px; padding-right: 6px; text-align: right;\">Islam Q&amp;A<\/div>","status":1,"created_at":"2015-04-11T20:51:59.000000Z","updated_at":"2015-04-11T20:51:59.000000Z","language_id":1,"fatawacate_id":42,"parent_id":10886,"author_id":"","books":[],"articles":[],"videos":[],"audios":[],"author_name":"","category_name":"\u0627\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0631\u0645\u0627\u062a \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0633\u0627\u0621","category_slug":"","get_date":"2015-04-11"},"translations":[],"fatawa_books":[],"fatawa_articles":[],"fatawa_videos":[],"fatawa_audios":[],"url":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/eng\/api\/fatawas\/10887"}
